Stop trying to power your time machines through that shitty USB hub!  ::)

Nothing rlly taxing.

Well, I would look at what the draw on the WiiMote charger is.

Also, it looks like the hub was externally powered. Line noise can fry the capacitor.

It could just be age. Capacitors break with time.

Umm... hubs are great. But I've never had issues with them. They're good for things that don't need high speed but need power. Like shitty ipods, mp3s, USB NDS chargers, speakers powered by USB, MAYBE externals... but usually no. Too slow transfer rate.

That's totally weird though. Complain, get a new one and see if it's just a one in a thousand defect. But sometimes, you get things that are just inherently flawed.
(I got a certain dunlop squash racquet model, it collapsed on itself and the asshole at sportchek tried to deny me warranty. I got a new one and it's bending. I have a third one which I had to buy to grab warranty off of since I misplaced my first receipt and it's still ok, but I'm thinking of selling it. Fuck aluminium racquets. Carbon all the way)

Manufacter date on chip dated to 1/20/2003 so age probally was it.

@ Wiimote charger draws in

it says Input: DC 5V 450mA
5v probally from wall-charger. since i used packaged usb charger. I used to charge em with the PS2 Slimlines USB Ports but it took too long
